Title: Rat snake vs. cat squirrel...
Post by: Mike on October 04, 2009, 08:24:45 pm
... the snake won!

I was on my way to feed the dogs this evening and something caught my eye. The squirrel was already dead when I got there... I grabbed the camera and the kids so they could see nature in action. ;D

HOW DO YOU REAKON HE CAUGHT A SQUIRREL

I was thinking the same thing... all I could figure is he caught him in a nest during the rain and they fell to the gound???

That is pretty neat, I would never have guessed that the snake could have done that.  The squirrel looks young but it is still a big animal for a snake to down.

Dang it :o Thats a hell of thing to walk up on. If I would have taken the pic, there would have been a bunch of spilled dog food and maybe a shoe from me getting out of there so fast. ;D

That's cool . One evening I was in my tree stand and opened a beverage . I always put the caps in a hole in the tree right behind my back. I had the cap between my thumb and index finger and something in the hole hit it and knocked it out of my hand and out into the trail below. Needless to say my fat arse was out of the 16' stand in one step. It turned out to be 2 big rat snakes nesting in the $#%## hole in the tree . I moved my stand
